Congratulations for Scholastic Art and Writing Award Winners at Tygarts Valley

Recently we have had some good news for some of the students at Tygarts Valley. I'd like to particularly congratulate Matt and Brittany on their National Silver Medals that they will receive from the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards on May 31 at a ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Matt and Brittany received the national honors for their game, "Carl and Carly's Big Day" that they created in their Game Design I class last semester. The game teaches about Greek gods and goddesses in an entertaining and interactive way. You can play the game by going to the game gallery at Tygarts Valley High School.

Mrs. Walters had students at the middle school level in her game design class win gold key awards also. Visit the middle school wiki or Mrs. Walters blog to find out more about these students and their games. We are very proud of all of the students accomplishments. Keep up the good work! Good luck in the Globey competitions.
